I am wondering if anyone here has heard that there is now a new treatment which has been developed for optic nerve disorders such as ONH by using umbilical cord stem cells. The first three kids have all had measurable improvements. I am the person who has developed this treatment and I am wondering what people are thinking about it. I have been looking for some feedback from those with ONH about the recent news of my work. You can read about it on www.stemcellschina.com if you do please let me know if you have any feedback for me because I want to make sure that what I am doing is easily understood by non medical people and that the reading and source materials make sense to people with no medical training and/or back ground. I would love to get some feedback from folks on this board if anyone is open to talking with me it would be very helpful for me. If you want to check me out please feel free to do so as I do not want anyone to think I am some sort of snake oil salesperson or something. I am very serious about my work. Feel free to google my name if you like as I have absolutly nothing to hide; my full name is Kirshner Ross-Vaden. Thank you very much for taking the moment to read this message and hopefully some folks here will respond to me.
